Phil Collen Pull Quotes:
"High 'N Dry was a little bit derivative."
"Mutt Lange is a genius."
"On our new album you'll definitely hear some of our influences - you'll hear Queen. You'll hear AC/DC. You'll hear Stevie Wonder and stuff like that as well, but it still sounds very Def Leppard."
"This is the best album we've done since Hysteria."
